10.41.7 Reasonable Safety Accommodations
The University also will grant reasonable safety accommodations to employees affected by domestic or sexual violence to the employee for their family or household member so long as the accommodation does not pose an undue hardship on University's operations.
Reasonable safety accommodations are adjustments to a job structure, workplace facility, or work requirement, including a transfer, reassignment, modified schedule, leave, a changed telephone number or seating assignment, installation of a lock, implementation of a safety procedure, or assistance in documenting domestic violence that occurs at the workplace or in work-related settings, in response to actual or threatened domestic violence.
In order to request a Reasonable Safety Accommodation, an eligible employee must provide the Human Resources Department a written statement signed by the employee or an individual acting on the employee’s behalf, certifying that the reasonable safety accommodation is for a purpose authorized under the VESSA.
The University reserves the right to deny such requests to the extent they impose an undue hardship on the University.
